The Weekly Florists' Review.' 



Januaht 20, 1910. 



service for the past year has just been 

 reported by Joseph Stewart, second as- 

 sistant i)OBtma8ter general, as more than 

 forty-five million dollars. It would be 

 profitable to know what part of that 

 forty-five million is chargeable to con- 

 gressional and departmental franks. More 

 circumspect and business-like regulations 

 for the use of the frank would undoubt- 

 edly cut down the enormous deficit." 



AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS. 



The movement of all fertilizer material 

 is large, and although the season has 

 commenced later than usual, demand is 

 more insistent and the volume has in- 

 creased at a quicker rate than noted at 

 the beginning of other seasons. Owing 

 to the high price of cottonseed meal, the 

 animal ammoniates are in big request, 

 and on contracts covering needs for the 

 season high values have been realized by 

 the packers, who are in absolute control 

 of the abattoir products. Dried blood is 

 a little easier in the west, although this 

 is only considered a dip, with higher 

 prices yet to come. Tankage is un- 

 changed. Sulphate of ammonia has been 

 advanced again 2^/^ cents. Nitrate of 

 soda is firmer and demand is slowly im- 

 proving. Dried fish scrap is scarce, with 

 prices unchanged, but wet scrap is still 

 rather plentiful. The potash salts are 

 going into consumption in large quanti- 

 ties, and spot stocks are small. No one 

 evidently cares much about present syndi- 

 cate developments, but it is generally be- 

 lieved that before long the independent 

 interests will again become affiliated with 

 the combination and prices become regu- 

 lated by the latter, as was previously the 

 case. The acid phosphate factories are 

 busy and taking into immediate use all 

 the arrivals of pyrites. For bone high 

 values are ruling. The phosphate rocks 

 are still slow of sale, but there is a 

 stronger tone noted as the season ad- 

 vances.
